For an eligible HDB upgrader, Rivelle's EC discount to Pinery Residences is the single largest saving available in the precinct, and it comes with grants rather than ABSD. The cost is the MOP and the resale restrictions until year ten. For buyers who are not EC-eligible, or who need to sell within five years, Pinery Residences is the only option of the two.
